Following hard on from yesterday's stunning solution to EV charging points, here's an idea to cut down on the GP waiting times - GP practices swap patients with the next town, making it much more difficult to get to an appointment. The time wasters would disappear overnight.
Even better, locate all GP surgeries at the nearest hospital. Far fewer coming for their appointments because of distance, combined with the inability to park, could be referred immediately to a consultant for further tests, once the procedure backlog had been sorted. So, much smaller numbers being comprehensively treated in a fraction of the time. I should be a Secretary of State for something....
Am I serious? No, but I wouldn't put it past someone to come up with the policy.

Unfortunately your idea is already in practice where I live. My wife has been poorly for just over a year now and she was referred to a gynaecologist and a urologist without seeing a nurse or a doctor at our GP practice.
